+===========
+
+This tool will place animals in your Minecraft map, if there are no animals existing.
+This can happen to old maps after upgrading to Minecraft >= Beta 1.8.
+
+It tries to simulate the standard Minecraft animal spawning mechanism.
+Spawning wolves is a bit problematic, they only spawn in forest biomes, but it is
+(IMHO) not possible to read out the used biome for a chunk. So this tool tries to figure out
+where a forest could be (where are many trees?).
+
+WARNING!
+--------
+
+Before you do this, PLEASE backup your Map. I could not see any problems, but just in case...
+
+Requirements
+------------
+
+* Python 2.x (<http://www.python.org>)
+* pymclevel (<https://github.com/codewarrior0/pymclevel>. Just place the pymclevel into the root directory of this tool)
+* numpy (Needed by pymclevel. <http://numpy.scipy.org/>)
+* wxPython (<http://wxpython.org/>. Make sure you use an Unicode-enabled version!)
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+Launch `animalfix.py`, select the directory of your Minecraft map and click "Lets do it!".
+Then you have to wait quite a long time. My map is ~ 50 MiB large and it took about 15 minutes to fix it (running on Fedora 14 with an Phenom II X4 965).
+
+Todo / Wishlist
+---------------
+
+* An "exefied" (you can not call this compiling for Python scripts IMHO...) version for Windows to make it easier for Windows users.
+
+License
+-------
+
+NOTE: pymclevel is not my work. It was originally witten by codewarrior0. See <https://github.com/codewarrior0/pymclevel/blob/master/LICENSE.txt> for pymclevel's license.
